Does this unit put out as much power as the Quad Rotor. I have had several people tell me they do not. Joe Potavano had the new 5.0 and traded them back to go back to Quad Rotors. What is the answer?

If I was to switch to the 5.0 would you gaurentee I see the same or better results?

With the 5 liter, I was able to make 1326 hp pretty easily. It had more in it if I wanted to push it. I was only looking for 1200. It is just a better all around piece. None of the problems that quads have will happen to the 5 liter.
However, there is nothing wrong with the quads. As Dustin said, I don't think they planned for 1500+ hp when they designed them. I did have a few problems with the quads but I worked them out myself and continued to use them. Dustin never helped me because I never asked him to. I'm sure he would have worked with me to resolve it. I never got mad about it. I expected some problems when you get to this power level. I had to modify, fix, change, cut, grind, weld damn near everything on the engine. It just comes with the territory.I happen to have a father in law that has an unbelievable machine shop and just so happens to like me.(go figure). I strictly use Whipples on everything I build, unless the customer already has an sc of a different brand. I build engines with any supercharger out there, but if I have my choice, it will be a Whipple.

Eddie-you are comparing your data to the 2.3 liter quads that you built for nashville catz.We are talking about the 3.3 quads.

5 liters of air is not nearly as good as 6.6 liters of air -period.Now the 8.2 or the 10 liter in a single style blower would be very sellable and make more horsepower than the current quad rotors.And the set up with the single blower would be simpler,cleaner to look at and most important have less parts to fail.
